Re: [ESS] Emacs can find R-devel and R-newest, but not R-4.0.x
Hi Colin, My apologies, I mis-remembered this. I had the same problem, and there was some discussion on the list and a new fix was proposed. This is documented on the '(ess) New features' page of the info manual, which notes the fix will appear in 19.04. In the interim I solved it locally by customizing `ess-r-runner-prefixes`, and in my old age I muddled all this together to give you bad advice.

Does this mean ESS from git lags behind Melpa? Best wishes, Colin Baxter.

No. Marius was using the last released version of ESS which
indeed we forgot to equip with searching for R-4
Marius: The fastest may be to just replace this in the ESS 18.10 sources :
In file lisp/ess-r-mode.el, find
(defvar ess-r-versions
(let ((r-ver '("R-1" "R-2" "R-3" "R-devel" "R-patched")))
and replace the 2nd line by
(let ((r-ver '("R-1" "R-2" "R-3" "R-4" "R-5" "R-6" "R-7" "R-devel"
"R-patched")))
NB: In newer (all development) versions of ESS ess-r-versions
still exists but is deprecated in favor of
ess-r-runner-prefixes
which is also *customizable*.
"Yes", the non-released development versions of ESS have nice new
features but also some new bugs which I've hoped for a long time
would be gone before a new official release... (and partly
*have* been removed).
Another reason preventing a new release has been that the
*.Rnw *.Rmd (Sweave, knitr, Rmarkdown, ..) support ("*noweb") in ESS
has been deprecated in favor of the new poly-mode based emacs
lisp packages. ... and the plan has been that an "ESS+" bundle
should be have been ready when ESS is released, where the ESS+
"bundle" / 'meta-package' should contain ESS + polymode + ...
so that people and upstream "package" maintainers (for Debian
Linux, SuSE, Redhat; or Vincent Goulet's "Emacs+ESS+.." bundle)
could use ESS+ too.

Re: [ESS] Emacs can find R-devel and R-newest, but not R-4.0.x
This was fixed in ESS 19.04. If you install/update ESS from Melpa, you should get a recent version that includes this fix.

[ESS] Emacs can find R-devel and R-newest, but not R-4.0.x
Hi, I used to be able to start a specific R version with M-x R-... but it doesn't work anymore. On M-x R- I see: R-devel R-initialize-on-start R-mode R-newest R-transcript-mode ... but no R-4.0.x. I have R-4.0.0, R-4.0.2, R-4.0.3 and R-devel installed and M-x R-devel and M-x R-newest correctly find and start R-devel and R-4.0.3, respectively. The other two R versions are set up exactly in the same way, which is why it's so confusing that they are not found. Also, in an Emacs shell (M-x shell), R-4.0. completes to all R versions and I can also start every single one of them. Any ideas what to try? This is on macOS 10.15.7 with GNU Emacs 26.3 and ESS version 18.10.2 [Released git: d4cd65da6dbf].
